Greetings once more! Another nudge earlier than we get going: the Hidden Curriculum workshop with Mark Anderson and Dan Rees is now lower than per week away — Wednesday and Thursday, August 5–6, 2026, operating about 4 hours every day beginning at 7pm Beijing / 8pm Tokyo (7am EDT). In case you’ve been on the fence, that is the second to seize a spot.
I wrote at size a number of weeks in the past about why I believe this one issues, so I gained’t repeat all of it. However the quick model is that this: the workshop is constructed for the individuals who most want it and are least prone to have been instructed any of it — PhD college students simply beginning their analysis, college students heading onto the job market, and newly minted assistant professors. A lot of it’s field-agnostic, so economics-adjacent of us in training, political science, and sociology are likely to get quite a bit out of it too.
What Mark and Dan cowl is precisely the stuff no person teaches you in graduate faculty however everybody assumes you already know: methods to choose analysis matters that really go someplace, methods to juggle a number of initiatives, methods to navigate the publication course of, and methods to construct the skilled relationships that genuinely matter. Each deliver actual editorial expertise to it — Rees has been a coeditor at main journals and beforehand served as editor-in-chief at Economics of Schooling Evaluate, and Anderson spent 5 years as co-editor at Financial Inquiry. They’ve seen what lands on an editor’s desk and what doesn’t.
And given how briskly issues are transferring, they’ll be spending extra time this spherical on how AI is reshaping analysis and the publishing panorama — what “productiveness” is beginning to imply, what editors are noticing, and the way younger researchers needs to be fascinated with their pipeline in gentle of all of it. With the job market nonetheless as tight because it’s been, understanding how the career actually works behind the scenes is extra of a bonus than ever.
As one previous participant put it: “As an econ grad scholar early in my analysis profession, this workshop answered each query I had about how analysis really will get executed — and questions I didn’t even know I had.”
The price is $125 (or $1 in case you’re at the moment residing in a low-income nation — simply e-mail me at causalinf@mixtape.consulting for that price). You may enroll right here. Hope to see you there.
